Are you sick of

Local TV News that spends more time promoting the story they are gonna do than they spend on the story?

Weather Dorks and Dorkettes who make the next front into a 3 minute lesson on wind?

Late breaking stories that occured 7 hours before with some dillweed standing on a street corner after dark doing an On Scene report.

TV News in KC is reaching for an all time low.

I didn't know these events happen in MO. I guess I must go back to third grade and retake geography.
No, really i am just saying that the news we get to watch on our cable system(Or read in news papers) are more about Missouri..

Last reply thanks...

The thing I notice about the news up here is that no matter what part of the country a story involves, there has to be a "Chicago connection," whether there is one or not. When the missing kids were found in St. Louis last week, the local news reported it, and then followed up with a story about some missing Chicago kids. Apparently the local media doesn't feel Chicago people can relate to the problems of total strangers in other states unless it can somehow tie them to the problems of total strangers who live in the general area.

"Tonight, corruption in the Delaware Senate race. And we have on the line with us Mr. Joe Blow, a Chicago resident who is a neighbor of the senator's uncle's former roommate."

That seems to happen with the Chief's highlights as well.

The same thing happens here. I live west of Charlotte and no matter where the news happens, they somehow find a way to tie it back to Charlotte. An accident could happen in California and the tires that the car had were made here locally.

When all those tornado's hit here in 2004, she was on the TV from 1 in the afternoon til 1am the next morning !!!! That's without any damn commercials !!! I kept hearing her say, "We should be taking a break right now for commercials, but there's no way I'm leaving the air even for one second... It's just too dangerous out there right now'!!!!

THAT right there is one fine weatherwoman !!!!

It's the same everywhere, not just KC.

Having been in that business... kind of... I can tell you that they do a lot of what they do because they have to fill time. The show is 30 minutes. Saying there is a front coming in takes 2 seconds. So they explain everything to a pulp.

It's annoying but you'd have to do the same if you became a news anchor or weather dork.
